The campus plan began with the strategic planning process we undertook during the 2013-2014 academic year. Over 165 faculty, staff, and students engaged in an intensive and inclusive series of discussions that resulted in a wide range of recommendations for IU Bloomington as we approach our 2020 bicentennial. These excellent recommendations were shared widely with our campus, which responded with hundreds of comments and ideas. The creativity and thoughtfulness of both the strategic planning teams and the response to their work demonstrated our community’s belief in and ambition for this wonderful institution.

The final draft of this plan draws upon the historic strengths of the Bloomington campus, addresses the unique opportunities open to us as IU’s flagship campus, and envisions innovative approaches to ensuring our third century of excellence.
